Early Years Foundation

Giggles Nursery complies with and carefully follows the government Department for Education Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. This is the official guidance on the standards that childcare providers must meet for the learning, development and care of children under five years old.

You can download the full guidance documentation by visiting the government web page on the following link:

It’s not appropriate for this web site to show the specifics of this framework, but if you are unfamiliar with it then it’s purpose is to set the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well, are kept healthy and safe and that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school.

At Giggles Nursery, we monitor each child and check their progress against the criteria specified in the EYFS framework. We work hard to ensure your child is ready for school when they leave us – but we also don’t forget that being a child is supposed to be fun too!
